1. Return people to real food. Food that is nourishing, energizing and wholesome. The way nature intended.
Millions of people are not eating real food. They are eating something cleverly designed to look, smell and taste like it but often has the opposite effect of real food. There is a point in processing where the food is so far from its natural state that it no longer serves the purpose it was intended for; nourishing, energizing and protecting the body so that the species eating it can live, thrive and propagate. In fact, most processed foods actually become toxic and addictive. This type of “food” has been stripped from precious nutrients in order to extend shelf life and increase profits. This renders the food nutrient deficient and addictive thus perpetuating a cycle of malnourishment and addiction leading to obesity and triggering thousands of other diseases. Wow, I know big claim indeed!

2. Create a place where people can learn more about where food comes from and how it impacts their body and the environment.

Return to Food.com’s mission is to educate people about what “food” is today and raise awareness of how it impacts our body and environment and create education, solutions and products that help you and those you love, return to eating real food. Our desire is to show you what Mother Nature would prepare in her kitchen, to make it simple, delicious and pleasurable.

Note of Gratitude

This website was created by Peter Ricci (Yakadanda.com) who’s been my web designer for over 8 years now and is one of the most generous and efficient web designers I’ve ever met. He’s been a part of my team and many of those years when ‘my team’ was myself. Thank you Peter for being amazing, generous and (though it would annoy him to have this known publicly) for your big big heart.
